A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981)
Johann Sebastian Bach

Glenn Gould

Sony, 2002
Really, so NO ONE in 1981 realized the analog tapes sounder better?
Most of us may remember the "perfect music forever" marketing that introduced CDs 25 years ago... those of us with working ears pretty quickly dismissed it for the hype it was... I've got both the '55 and '81 versions and now this release. I have NO regrets re the ...
Pytor Illych Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Complete Ballet

Kirov Orchestra and Choir

Philips, 1998
It Doesn't Have to Christmas
This is an excellent recording of the Nutcracker! It's wonderful to have the full ballet instead of just selections from the suite. The music somehow stays timeless even after millions of seasonal ballet performances and use in shopping malls. Whether or not your a fan ...

Baroque by Bach
Perhaps it is the romantic in me that enervates a sense of anticipation when superlative musicians take up period instruments to play great master's works in the manner in which they were written. In this case I believe that also means enjoying the work with a ...
Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

Brilliant Classics, 2006
Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...
Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive
Glenn Gould
SONY CLASSICS, 2007
Get it while you can
Glenn Gould lives up to the sound bite given by George Szell -- "That nut is a genius." Gould's interpretations are controversial. Some detest his singing along with his playing. Others think he is too mannered, too idiosyncratic in his interpretations, still ...

EMI Classics, 1999
VERY HIGH QUALITY RENDITION
All the performances on this set of the Beethoven String Quartets are of the highest quality. Particularly outstanding is the performance of Op 59 no 1 Intonation, expression, the ability of the players to meld together, and the dynamic range is all superb. One small ...

EMI Classics, 2008
Oistrakh Jubilee
A violinist's violinist who was simultaneously adored by the general public. EMI presents in one compilation the entire recorded legacy of David Oistrakh. I simply wanted to list the works and co-performers in this collection. The recordings really do not need any ...

Brilliant Classics, 2005
A wonderful set !
I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I ...

EMI Classics, 2008
a landmark cycle not to be missed
It has been 11 years since Evgeny Kissin released his CD of Beethoven concertos with James Levine and the Philharmonia Orchestra. During the approximate period 2003-2007, audiences were able to share in hearing the evolution of his playing at sold-out performances ...
Brahms: Complete String Quartets, Quintets & Sextets
Karl Leister

Johannes Brahms

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003
This is how all Brahms should be played!
There isn't much to say about this set, but I'll say what there is to say: These players play the Brahms chamber music here with such emotion, musical understanding, and overall perfection that this set should be made into a must for all Brahms chamber music lovers. ...
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake (complete ballet); Wolfgang Sawallisch; Philadelphia Orchestra
Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky
,
Wolfgang Sawallisch

EMI Classics, 2004
Great rendition, minor flaws
I quite thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of Swan Lake. I've listened to one other version by Dutoit before this one, and I have to say that Sawallisch's version is, on the whole, much better. The major difference is that I didn't get bored by the third act; Sawallisch ...

Red Ink, 2004
Less miserable!
I have this recording memorized front to back, and when my old cassettes finally wore out, it was time to replace them digitally. Well of course it sounds phenomenal, and the booklet has all the cast info plus all the lyrics and a synopsis of the plot. I can't ...

Herbert von Karajan

EMI Classics, 1997
Perhaps The Best Recorded "Madama Butterfly"
There are many "Butterfly" recordings out there that are excellent in their own right but this recording deserves a category of excellence all it's own. What almost looks like mis-casting on paper, Callas does an astonishing job with the title role, which she recorded ...

Brilliant Classics, 2007
Great price for every note written by Beethoven
I have the complete sets for Mozart and Bach too. Overall they pick pretty good versions of each piece, but at this price, you can use it as reference to fill out with specific artist, later. This is compact in packaging and a great gift for people in apartments or ...
